Alerta Sings & Songs for the Playground (Smithsonian Folkways $15 Score:) Suni Paz's classic recordings of songs and games in Spanish and English are combined on a single disk with songs from Latin America and the Caribbean. There are songs, jumping chants, and childhood rhymes accompanied by Latin American instruments. Some are familiar, but in truth, it's the less familiar that will capture your heart! Muy dulce!

Linking Up (ESR $12.99 Score:) Sarah Pritle with Roberto Diaz will fill your heart with joy as they sing more than 40 songs (20 each in Spanish and English) that promote cooperation, friendship, and caring. But these aren't just songs with messages-first and foremost, they're music!

South African Legends (Putumayo $12.95 Score:) Imagine a gathering of the most outstanding names in South African music-that's what you'll find on this CD: Miriam Makeba, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and so many others! Also top rated: World Playground, with authentic folk music from around the world.

Universe of Song: French & English (Music for Little People $7.98 Score:) A collection of familiar nursery songs: "Frere Jacques," "Alouette," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and so many more, sung by Jean René. Songs are sung in both French and English. A review of the French words at the end of each song might have worked better at the beginning, but after the first few plays, perhaps it won't matter so much. It's never too soon to introduce tots to another language and singing the songs of childhood has universal appeal! (50 min.)
